How I Flew Emirates First Class For The Price Of Economy

“Quick! Check this out, can this be right?” I thrust my laptop at my husband in disbelief. While searching for return tickets to London using Qantas Frequent Flyer points, I’ve somehow landed on a flight with a truly magical word beside it: First.

First Class doesn’t exist in my world; it’s a far-off fantasy land, hidden from sight and spoken about in hushed tones. It’s the place you send to send all frustrations and anger when you’re squashed up against an overpacker who sounds like they’ve swallowed a water buffalo along with their bangers and mash, down the back in cattle class.

But here, on the screen right now, it’s flashing it’s mythical unicorn mane as plain as day.
